About Mavro Provato

One of the city's best-loved meze spots, always full of locals. Inventive small plates to share on a pavement terrace in residential Pangrati. Pangrati is a lively residential neighbourhood behind the Panathenaic Stadium, where the first modern Olympic Games were held in 1896, with local tavernas, cafés and bars around its squares. Athenians dine late, usually from 21:00, so book ahead for weekend dinners, especially at the best-known tables.
